My approach to therapy is grounded in psychodynamic, emotion‑focused, and multisystemic perspectives, with deep respect for your unique lived experience. Many of the ways we think, feel, and relate to others develop as protective mechanisms that once served an important purpose. Over time, however...

Our favorite local autumn tradition is back this weekend: the Edina Fall into the Arts Festival!

Between back-to-school chaos, sports practices, and nonstop work emails, carving out family time can feel impossible. Wandering the festival, browsing handmade art, and grabbing bites from local vendors is a simple, low-pressure way to connect and recharge together.

Bring the family, grab a warm drink, and celebrate the amazing creative talent in our community!

Welcome Taylor Lander, Doctoral Practicum Clinician and the newest member of the Slate team! From big life changes and anxiety or past trauma to supporting teens with school stress, Taylor offers warm, grounded, and highly practical therapy.

Now earning her PsyD at Augsburg University, she blends evidence-based methods (CBT & ACT) with a holistic view of the relationships and environments influencing your life.

My approach to therapy involves both the practical elements of empirically-supported modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as the environmentally nuanced aspects of Systems Theory and Psychodynamic Theory. I believe change occurs at both the i...

Real intimacy is a bit messy, wonderfully uncurated, full of compromises, and... kind of chic.

In therapy, we often notice couples measuring themselves against an impossible ideal of what a “healthy” relationship should look like.
But genuine connection is not forged in picture-perfect moments; it grows in the unglamorous, everyday decisions to show up, say sorry, and choose each other anyway.

Meet Ethan Roe, MA → Ethan brings a thoughtful, empathetic, and collaborative approach to therapy, specializing in helping young adults and individuals navigate major life transitions with clarity and confidence.

In sessions with Ethan, you can expect a grounded, judgment-free space where you can drop the pressure to have everything figured out and focus on real growth.

When he’s not focused on doctoral coursework, Ethan loves walks with his wife and their dog, Winston, hitting the golf course, and playing local town ball. In his rare free time, you'll find him diving into a great sci-fi, fantasy, or classic novel!

While the rest of the world is shopping for school supplies, educators are quietly gearing up for a massive emotional lift. Setting healthy boundaries early on isn't selfish; it's essential burnout prevention for the year ahead.

Because stepping away during the school day isn't an option, Slate offers flexible appointment availability outside of school hours so you can prioritize your well-being without disrupting your day.

If you are an educator looking for dedicated support this school year, reach out → www.slatetherapy.com

Going to college is often sold as "the best four years of your life"... But few people talk about how disorienting those first few weeks can feel.

Between trying to make friends, staying on top of classes, and adjusting to complete independence, it is normal to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety.
Here’s your reminder: You don't have to have it all figured out on Day 1.

Need an extra layer of support?
At Slate, providers like Dr. Kevin Challender (who previously worked across multiple college counseling centers) and Ethan Roe, MA, specialize in helping young adults navigate every stage of this transition. Visit our website to find out more.

If you've been looking for a compassionate, highly skilled therapist to help navigate life’s ups and downs, we'd love for you to meet Dr. Kevin. He brings a rich background in evidence-based care, blending sharp clinical insight with a warm, grounded style that makes opening up feel completely natural.

Dr. Kevin believes therapy works best when you can drop the performance, show up 100% as yourself, and focus on practical, real-world tools that lead to meaningful growth.

So many people delay reaching out for therapy because they think it’s reserved for when they're at rock bottom. But viewing yourself like a broken machine that needs repair adds unnecessary weight to what you're carrying.

Therapy isn't a high-stakes body shop. It’s a dedicated space to slow down, unpack what's on your mind, and get clear on what you need alongside a professional who’s in your corner.

Back-to-school season hits everyone differently. While you're hunting down specific notebooks and forms, your teen might be quietly spiraling about lunch seating, new teachers, or social expectations 🙃

Remember: Your family does not have to carry the weight of this transition alone. It’s completely normal for teens to prefer opening up to an outside perspective.
